[QUOTE="tryingteacher, post: 25694, member: 3526"] Thank you so so much Marg!! I am going to print your post out so I can highlite pieces of it. I love the idea about the brite postit notes. I have currently been using a timer to help him transition but I will add the post it notes as well. My little guy has an above average IQ and no learning disabilities. Somedays it seems anything and everything sets him off from being asked to sit down to being asked if he wants to go outside to get his wiggles out. He percieves everything as a threat on days when he is extra touchy. I agree with you about the different rules but his mother and our county behavior specialist say I am not consistent enough. I believe this came out of a meeting when I made the comment that I was going to have to be more consistent with him and to enforce our classroom rules with him as well....referring to timeout for throwing things. What you said about kids needing different rules is so true. It is my job to get him to learn but I have yet to gain instructional control with him. I have given him easier work, I have let him pick his own work out, I let him make his schedule, he has a break every 30 minutes and 2 recesses a day. I am begining to think that he is a really sick kid but I just can't admit or bring myself to believe that he is beyond help. I just see so much brilliance and potential in him.
